About this Opportunity
Listen Up Youth Radio began in January 2018 and went public with our first program that June via a weekly, youth-hosted radio program. Today, Listen Up is a worker self-directed nonprofit with an embedded youth media entrepreneurship cooperative. Our board includes Youth Media Collective members and alumni and adult volunteers.
Our program strategies are: 1) youth employment, 2) training and education in media production, journalism & media literacy, and 3) civic engagement and leadership development. We run:
8 monthly youth-produced radio shows (4-5pm, Mondays/Thursdays on WFNU + Fridays on KRSM) 2) a year round Youth Media Collective (employment and entrepreneurship cooperative program), 3) a Summer Media Institute (peer-to-peer training program),
Youth Forums (aired on 5th monthly Mondays/Fridays), and
media education and media production services for schools, companies, libraries, and community organizations.
